It was an honor to be selected by my fellow Board members to serve as President of the Firemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago this past December. As Board members, we are committed to prudent oversight of the Fund and ensuring that all participants have the necessary information to assist in their transition from active employment to retirement. We also work to inform and educate participants on current issues and developments that potentially impact our Fund and our members’ benefits. There are four main subjects below that I would like to cover in this letter:

Medicare EnrollmentUpon becoming first eligible for Medicare, you have a 7-month Initial Enrollment Period to sign up for Part A and/or Part B.

For example, if you're eligible for Medicare when you turn 65, you can sign up during the 7-month period that:• Begins 3 months before the month you turn 65• Includes the month you turn 65• Ends 3 months after the month you turn 65

You can sign up for Part A and/or Part B during the General Enrollment Period which falls between January 1st – March 31st each year if both of these apply:

• You didn't sign up when you were first eligible.• You aren’t eligible for a Special Enrollment Period.

You must pay premiums for Part A and/or Part B. Coverage will begin on July 1st. You may have to pay a higher premium for late enrollment in Part A and/or a higher premium for late enrollment in Part B.

Please visit the Social Security Administration website at https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare for additional information, and to confirm that this information aligns with your personal situation.

For any members searching for a Medicare supplemental plan, Local 2 has sponsored a plan with Aetna. For more information regarding the Aetna plan, please call (312) 248-6508 or (877) 660-7919. In addition, the City of Chicago has sponsored a plan with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois, for more information regarding the BCBS plan please call (877) 566-8520.

InvestmentsThe Fund’s investment returns for the last year totaled 18.3% and our investments have averaged returns of 10.2% over the last five years. The Fund’s one-year investment return places the Fund amongst the top ten percent of peer public pension funds and the Fund’s five-year investment return places the Fund amongst the top twenty-five percent of peer public pension funds. Most impressively, the Fund’s investment returns over the past 30 years have averaged 9.4%, which means that for every $1 invested by the Fund in 1988, it would have been valued at $15.15 at the end of 20171.

The Board is seeking the services of a new Chief Investment Officer that will assist the Board with implementing a new investment asset allocation and work in conjunction with the Board to maintain a disciplined and diversified investment strategy.

The Fund’s previous Chief Investment Officer, Mike Moran, retired in 2017 after serving in that role for over twenty years. His investment management skills allowed the Fund’s long-term investment strategy to prosper in challenging economic times. Mike is continuing to serve as an investment consultant to the Board during the transition to our new Chief Investment Officer.

Change of Address All retired participants that move, even temporarily, are required to complete a change of address form. The forms can be located on our website at http://fabf.org/PDF/Annuitant/AnnuitantCOA.pdf or you can call the Fund Office at 312-726-5823 and a form will be mailed to you. Every year, many of the participants’ 1099 tax forms are returned back to the Fund by the Post Office because participants have moved and unfortunately, the Fund’s mail can not be forwarded.

Health Insurance Premium ChangeIf your health insurance premiums are deducted from your annuity payment, and your insurance provider changes your rates, you must inform the Fund in writing of the new rate to be deducted from your annuity payment. Your health insurance provider will not inform the Fund of any rate changes.

If you participate in the Local 2 or City of Chicago sponsored health insurance plans, the requirement above does not apply to you, as the Fund will receive any rate changes directly from your health insurance provider.

As the new Fund President, I am committed to working with my fellow Board Members to improve every aspect of Fund operations, while keeping the participants best interests at heart, in order to serve our membership in the greatest manner possible.

Respectfully yours,

Daniel Fortuna, Fund President

FROM THE FUND SECRETARY - CAPTAIN ANTHONY MARTIN

I want to thank the members of the Chicago Fire Department for the honor of having served you and your families as a trustee on our Fund for fourteen years. Given my recent election, I thought recapping where we have been and what we have been through together over the past 15 years would be helpful as we all look to the future.

2002-2010In 2002, the Fund was reeling from the bursting of the Dot com bubble which saw the value of many investments tumble. In 2003, the markets began to recover, but trustees on the Fund remained concerned over inadequate funding and the ever-increasing reliance on investment returns to fund benefits. In 2004, at a time when the Fund was 48 percent funded, Local 2 and the City agreed to benefit enhancements such as making pensionable Ambulance Commander salary, EMT pay, Duty Availability payments; a new formula for retirees mandatorily retired with less than 20 years of service; increase in the minimum retiree benefit, increase in the minimum widow benefit from $800 to $1,000 per month, elimination of the loss of widows benefits upon remarriage; addition of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and stroke to the Occupational Disability Section of our Code; reimbursement for legal expenses a member incurred if the court overturns a decision of the Retirement Board denying a member benefits; a 3% COLA for those members born before 1955, as well as the inclusion of exempt rank salary for members who served as exempt rank provided they were also battalion chiefs for five years and they were born before January 01, 1955. This agreement was drafted into legislation, passed by both chambers of the Illinois legislatures, signed by the Governor and became Public Act 93-0654 (P.A. 93-0654).

At the time P.A. 93-0654 was passed, its projected impact on the Fund was an increase in the unfunded liability of approximately $180 million dollars, and that is not including the $23 million dollars in guaranteed funding that the City and Local 2 removed from the statute. In total, the pension package provided for a projected increase of $250 million in new unfunded liabilities. Trustees warned the City, Local 2 and all Fund participants that due to the projected and future benefit payments, the Fund could be approximately 20 percent funded in a little over ten years, a projection that, as it turned out, was accurate.

Subsequent to the enactment of Public Act 93-0654, the City and Local 2 agreed to additional benefit changes which included the ability of our terminally ill to waive the one year lay-up requirement to apply for occupational disability to ensure their families health insurance if the firefighter or paramedic passed away. Another bill allowed members who left the Department and took refunds and couldn’t afford to repay the Fund within two years to be treated as new employees and thus eligible for benefits. We have seen legislation pass to allow for the transfer of pensionable service credit from a downstate fire department to CFD, allow active firefighters and paramedics to purchase up to 24 months of pre-employment military service credit and passage of USSERRA allowing firefighters and paramedics on military leave to obtain pensionable service credit. The HEART ACT passed requiring public pension funds like ours to provide benefits for military personnel on leave who are injured or killed in action as if they were working for their civilian employer at the time of their injury or death. Additionally, we have seen the HELPS Bill pass to make health insurance more affordable for our retirees.

That said, the main challenge to the pension fund over the past 15 has been that nearly every benefit enhancement enacted was without the necessary funding needed to administer the fund on an actuarially sound basis. While great investment returns helped pay for benefits between 2003 and 2007, the Housing Bubble which began in 2007 exposed the structurally insufficient funding of Illinois retirement systems including our Fund.

2010 – 2015In 2010, confronted with over $100 billion dollars of unfunded pension obligations and the prospect of an increase in taxes, traditionally anti-labor and anti-public pension fund organizations including but not limited to the Illinois Policy Institute, Chicago Commercial Club, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and the Illinois Municipal League seized the opportunity created by the Housing Bubble and turmoil in the financial markets which caused pension funds throughout the country to experience financial losses. These organizations all promoted policies to curb organized labor and attack the collective bargaining rights of public employees as they relate to wages, healthcare, manning and pension benefits. They also sought, in an effort I believe, to profit by privatizing traditionally government provided services such as replacing public schools with charter schools, privatizing garbage collection, jail systems and even utilizing private contractors to provide EMS and firefighting services.

PA96-1495By the end of 2010, many unions throughout Illinois and the country conceded benefits for current and future employees. Local 2 was not spared in efforts to diminish benefits. Local 2, like every public pension fund throughout the State of Illinois, was compelled to accept a second tier with a lower benefit structure for those hired on or after January 1, 2011. However, unlike many other unions, Local 2 was successful in protecting then current active employees, retirees and their dependents. Additionally, the City and Local 2 successfully negotiated changes to the statutory funding methodology in place for decades which was a major impediment to remedying the underfunding of our Fund. Additionally, Local 2 was also able to include as part of PA96-1495, an enforcement mechanisms such as intercept language and the ability to file a mandamus action in the Court system to compel the City to provide statutory required revenue to our Fund. Public Act 96-1495 was a step forward with respect to funding but deficient due to the loss of benefits for firefighters hired on or after January 01,2011, such as the elimination of duty death widow benefits, loss off ordinary disability benefits for members and their survivors as well as the loss off the death benefit after retirement.

On February 8, 2011 shortly after the Public Act 96-1495 became law, Dana Levenson the former chief financial officer of the city of Chicago and co-chair of the Mayor’s Commission to Strengthen Chicago’s Pensions wrote a letter to the editor “A Warning to Chicago’s Mayor Next”. Mr. Levenson was opposed to PA 96-1495’s 25 year period to bring the police and fire pension funds to 90 percent funded. He related that the Mayor’s Commission had proposed a 50 year period to bring the Funds to 80 percent funded. He indicated that the property tax increase necessary to fund Police and Fire Funds consistent with PA 96-1495 would be steep and that if the state’s legislature granted all of the City’s pension plans new funding requirements consistent with the Chicago police and fire pension funds that the result would be, at the very least, to make Chicago less competitive and a less desirable place to live.

Given the city’s and the pension funds’ massive fiscal challenges and the prospect of a massive property tax increase, the City’s then new mayor Rahm Emmanuel and his administration pursued increases in employee pension contributions and benefit reductions to active and retired members of the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund, Municipal Employees Retirement Fund, Laborers Retirement Plan, Park District Employees Retirement Plan as well as Funds covering Chicago Police and Fire Fund participants. Many paramedics and firefighters remember the mayor’s visits to firehouses indicating he would seek increased employee contributions and benefit reductions. To the extent the City was successful at increasing employee contributions and reducing benefits, the City vigorously opposed legal challenges by the union led “We Are One Coalition” which believed the legislation increasing contributions while reducing or diminishing public employee pension benefits was unconstitutional.

For the better part of the next Five years, legal battles over pension modifications waged over the State’s and City of Chicago’s pension modifications reducing the value of employees’ pensions. The City’s pension reductions were in many respects modeled after the state’s pension reductions for both active and retired members. The City’s pension modifications included reducing the benefits of future employees, increasing employee contributions, increasing the age of retirement for active employees, penalizing employees for early retirement as well as reducing the COLA for active and retired employees. In May of 2015, the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois in case entitled In Re Pension Litigation (Heaton v. Quinn), 2015 IL 118585, (May 8, 2015), struck down the pension modifications to the five state retirement systems. Less than a year later, the Illinois Supreme Court in Mary J. Jones et al v. Municipal Employees and Benefit Fund of Chicago et al, 2016 IL 119618, (March 24, 2016), struck down the modifications contained in Public Act 98-641 to Chicago employees and retirees in the Municipal Employees Retirement Fund and Laborers Retirement Fund. The outcomes were both major victories for active and retired participants of state and municipal pension plans.

The Illinois Supreme Court’s decisions came down strongly that under the Pension Protection Clause in Article XIII, section 5 of the Illinois Constitution stating in both Heaton and Jones Id., that an employee has a constitutionally protected right to the benefits of the [employer/employee] contractual relationship as of the date he was hired and becomes a member of the public pension system’ and as Justice Theis clearly stated in her opinion “that the clause was intended to put state and municipal governments on notice that they were responsible for those benefits. McNamee v. State, 173 Ill.2d 433 (1996) and that, “Employees have a legally enforceable right to receive the benefits they have been promised and not merely a right to receive whatever monies happen to remain in the [pension funds]”.

May 31, 2016 - Public Act 99-0506 Becomes Law (also known as SB 777).Public Act 99-0506 was the result of negotiations between the City of Chicago and the Police and Fire Unions in acknowledging the City’s budget issues, the Illinois Supreme Court’s decisions firmly assigning responsibility for the cost of providing our retirement benefits on the City, and the need for the City to stabilize all its employees’ retirement systems with new revenue in a way that wouldn’t make Chicago a less competitive place to live or do business. The General Assembly in recognizing the City’s challenge passed Public Act 99-0506 allowing for the City a five year ramp up period to the full actuarial required contribution to avoid having to raise revenue property taxes $2 billion as Dana Levenson, the City’s former CFO indicated would be necessary to treat all the City funded plans equally. Chicago Police and Fire pension Funds naturally opposed given their funded ratios. However, it must be noted that under the old methodology in place for decades, the Fire Fund would have received approximately $460 million in employer contributions over the 5 years from 2016 through 2020; under PA 96-1495, the Fund would have received approximately $1.3 billion; under Public Act 99-0506 the Fire Fund will receive approximately $1.1 billion. What that means is that while it is true as has been pointed out that the Fire Fund will receive approximately $250 million less over 5 years from PA96-1495, the Fund still will get approximately $660 million more than provided for under the old methodology.

November 30, 2016 – Public Act 99-0905 Becomes Law (also known as SB 440)Public Act 99-0905 was negotiated by the City of Chicago and the Police and Fire unions aimed at addressing unacceptable consequences in the wake of PA96-1495 for all newly hired firefighters, paramedics and police officers as of January 01, 2011; the elimination of duty death widow benefits; ordinary disability benefits, ordinary death widow’s benefits, children’s benefits, parents benefits and the loss of the death benefit after retirement. The bill addressed the historical challenge to our oldest and neediest widows by establishing a new floor at 125% of poverty with a COLA. The minimum widow’s benefit had not been changed in 10 years and many were at or below the poverty level. Lastly, the bill sought pension parity with current retirees by moving the 3% cola date from born before January 01, 1955 to born before January 01, 1966 to better protect retirees from the devastating impact inflation can have on the standard of living on our retired members. In ClosingOver my first five terms, I have had a seat near the front row as many issues impacting the lives of Chicago firefighters and paramedics have played out. Along with my fellow board members, I have participated in approximately 600 disability hearings, made difficult investment decisions through two major economic crisis (being the DOT Com Bubble and the Housing Crisis); fought to keep politics out of investment decisions; helped develop and implement of policies impacting upon the administration of the Fund; worked with Local 2’s Retiree Committee on retiree healthcare issues and establish the Retiree Breakfast; attended retirement seminars; visited firehouses; attended to the needs of sick members to protect their families; and raised money for the EMWQ Fund which has provided much needed assistance to our widows and children.

Throughout my 29 plus years as a firefighter, union steward, and a pension trustee, I have had the opportunity to work alongside and/or learn from some of the best advocates for Chicago firefighters and paramedics including Joe Quinn, Dan Fortuna, Bob Gahagan, Mike Cahill, George Korda, Larry Matkaitis, Norma Holland, Nick Pistello, Walter Carlson, George Barry, Jim McNally and Derrick Jackson. Over the years, most of my fellow trustees and mentors have responded forcefully against voices (some our own members) that argue we should reduce benefits and sacrifice important protections to pay for the City’s unfunded pension obligations. While we might all disagree on many things, I don’t think anyone would question that Dan Fabrizio has done more, or at least as much as anyone has ever done, to fight for funding of the pension fund and protect the jobs as well as benefits of firefighters and paramedics in his many years of service and through some very challenging times. We have all benefited from his efforts and we should all be grateful.

My goal is to ensure that our Fund puts the needs of its participants first. I also urge all of you to make a difference by getting involved in our union; supporting our charities and working to make the job even better for those around you today and in the future. Thank you again for trusting me to serve on our Fund. I look forward to seeing you whether at a union function or in the field.

Fraternally,

Captain/EMT Anthony MartinTruck 45Trustee, Active Elected Member




FROM ACTIVE TRUSTEE - BATTALION CHIEF THOMAS J. CODY

In December 2017, I was elected by the active members of the Firemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago (the “Fund”) to serve as a trustee of the Retirement Board of the Fund (the “Board”). I am truly honored to have your support as I began this journey. Since being elected to the Board, I am now the Chairman of the Budget Committee and serve as a member on the Legal and Policies and Procedures Committee.

There has been significant turnover on the Board in the last 18 months with a new Executive Director of the Fund, Steve Swanson, and City Clerk Anna Valencia and First Deputy Fire Commissioner Rich Ford being appointed as trustees. In addition, Pete O'Sullivan, Tony Martin and I were newly elected trustees to the Fund over the last 18 months.

One of my goals during my campaign to be elected to the Board was to ensure the members were receiving concise, accurate information from the Fund. Since my election, the Fund has sent out various publications, annual report, benefits book, pre- retirement information etc. with the purpose of informing and educating our members My goal is to keep you informed in order to give you the tools to determine if the Fund is moving in the right direction.

In March, 2018, the Board passed a partial budget and are gathering substantial, additional information in order to pass the remainder of the budget for 2018.The Fund is also in the process of compiling and organizing the many policies and procedures along with the Fund Employees handbook, that have been approved and passed by previous Boards to ensure continuity of the Fund’s policies and procedures in the future. Every month we will be going through a number of policies and re-adopting, modifying or deleting them. Our goal is to have everything available and transparent to avoid any transition issues when new trustees are elected. In the course of our Board meetings, I was happy to see that if one of our investment managers is not performing as they should or not achieving their benchmarks, the Board may put that investment manager on the Board’s Investment "watch list". If they are put on the list, the Fund sends them a letter asking for an explanation and what their plans are for the future. Most investment managers perform very well and we have no issues.

In March, 2018 the Fund also sent a letter demanding payment to the City of Chicago regarding the outstanding contributions for 2016 and 2017 based on the way the law currently reads. We are awaiting the City’s response and will then determine our next step. I get asked all the time about brass bill payments. The cost associated with the brass bill is paid on an annual basis from the City pursuant to the statute.

Looking at our finances going forward, I believe the Fund is in decent shape. In previous years the Board had to draw down investments in order to make payments to the Funds’ members. With the City’s contributions set as a static amount, also known as the “ramp”, for the next 3 years before the (ARC) (actual required contribution) kicks in, we expect to be close to cash neutral through the remainder of the year. That means, we should not need to draw down on our investment assets to meet our current payments to Fund members. This will allow our investments to grow and hopefully raise our overall funding from where it currently is. Once the ARC kicks in, the Fund will be receiving funding based on an actuarially determined contribution in order to bring the Fund to 90% funded by 2055. It is important for the Fund to achieve a financially secure funding position in order to provide the proper and well-deserved benefits our members work for. We will continue to provide you with the most updated and accurate information whenever we can.



ENDE MENZER WALSH & QUINN RETIREES' WIDOWS' AND CHILDREN'S ASSISTANCE FUND

The EMWQ Retiree's, Widow's and Children’s Assistance Fund provides financial assistance to the neediest retirees, widows and children of the Chicago Fire Department family. While Public Acts 99-0506 & 0905, which became law in 2016, helped raise the minimum annuity for retirees and widows to 125% of the Federal Poverty Limit, the ever-increasing cost of healthcare and other necessities continue to be challenge for those whose income was at or near the poverty level.

The following are ways in which the EMWQ helps our neediest members include:

• An annual gift to the neediest widows of the Chicago Fire Department receiving a pension of $1,000 to $1,500 a month, and many of which are without Social Security.

• An annual gift to the orphaned children of deceased members of the Chicago Fire Department.

• Immediate cash assistance to the children of an active member of the Chicago Fire Department who pass away in the line-of-duty or off-duty.

• Administers memorial funds for all Chicago Fire Department line-of-duty deaths. In December 2017, the EMWQ was able to distribute $638,775.00 to over 400 widows and 85 children of deceased Chicago firefighters and paramedics. While we are grateful for the tremendous support we have received from organizations like Old Style, the Chicago Blackhawks Alumni and events such as Battle of the Badges, the largest portion of the proceeds come from our active and retired members.

I would like to encourage everyone not already participating to make a modest contribution via payroll or through their annuity checks. Together, we can continue to ensure that our neediest members have a dignified retirement and ensure that those that are left behind know that they have not been forgotten. Members can visit widowsandchildren.org or call Eileen Doherty-Rich at (312) 726-5823 for more information about how to contribute.
